 AtkImplementorIface,  <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/GtkBuildable.html#GtkBuildable-struct">GtkBuildable</a> and  <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/gtk3-Orientable.html#GtkOrientable-struct">GtkOrientable</a>.</p>

<a name="GimpFileEntry.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>This widget is used to enter filenames or directories.</p>
<p>There is a <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/GtkEntry.html#GtkEntry-struct"><span class="type">GtkEntry</span></a> for entering the filename manually and a "..."
button which will pop up a <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/GtkFileChooserDialog.html#GtkFileChooserDialog-struct"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserDialog</span></a>.</p>
<p>You can restrict the <a class="link" href="GimpFileEntry.html" title="GimpFileEntry"><span class="type">GimpFileEntry</span></a> to directories. In this
case the filename listbox of the <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/GtkFileChooser.html#GtkFileChooser-struct"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a> dialog will be
set to directory mode.</p>
<p>If you specify <em class="parameter"><code>check_valid</code></em>
 as <code class="literal">TRUE</code> in <a class="link" href="GimpFileEntry.html#gimp-file-entry-new" title="gimp_file_entry_new ()"><code class="function">gimp_file_entry_new()</code></a> the
entered filename will be checked for validity and a pixmap will be
shown which indicates if the file exists or not.</p>
<p>Whenever the user changes the filename, the "filename_changed"
signal will be emitted.</p>
